No one wrote with more warm downhome affection for flyfishing than the late Robert Traver. He especially loved fishing for his beloved and bejeweled native brook trout on Michigans Upper Peninsula mostly on what he called "Frenchmans Pond " near Ishpeming. The tales he told made two memorable books Trout Madness and Trout Magic; text for a brilliant story in photographs (Anatomy of a Fisherman); and numerous essays and stories in a wide variety of magazines. His prose gives us as Arnold Gingrich has said "that wonderful relaxed lazy unhurried and unflustered comfortable old shoe feeling page after page." Traver on Fishing collects the best that the old judge wrote about his favorite sport - tall tales strange happenings and true lore including his famous Testament of a Fisherman. This book is a marvelous catch of wit wisdom and anecdote sure to delight everyone who enjoys a master storyteller who just happens to write here about his wonderful world of trout fishing.
